Forty Millenniums of Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 2466: I Want to Be Your Bro

Hardly had he concluded his sentence when thirty spiritual puppets attacked Boss Bai at the same time. Some of the spiritual puppets had sharp blades ejecting out of their arms, some condensed solid shields in front of their companions, and the spiritual puppets that were thoroughly protected opened their shoulders, breastplates, and abdomens, revealing the densest launch systems that were glowing! historical

The waves of attacks in the perfect rhythm were like the scourge of infinite tides. The tornado of destruction was boosted to the maximum since the second it was born, consuming Boss Bai completely.

Boss Bai’s wild laughter, however, was louder and louder in the metal torrents. “Yes, yes, that’s it! It’s been such a long time since I last enjoyed the ecstasy on the brink of death!”

BOOM!

A couple of spiritual puppets that were close to Boss Bai were blown away by his violent spiritual energy. One of the spiritual puppets was even grabbed by Boss Bai by the head. As the most powerful electric arcs penetrated its iron skull from the gaps, it was cramping hard before all the chips and rune arrays inside its body were overloaded and burnt up, turning it into a twisted shell with black smoke and white flames popping up.

“Is this the best you can do?”

Boss Bai tossed the burning, forsaken puppet away and walked toward the other twenty-nine spiritual puppets, his baggy eyes and his rising lips almost kissing. “You are insulting me and raising my fury, Fist King!”

The Fist King was silent for a moment. Then, the twenty-nine spiritual puppets were suddenly hastened into twenty-nine metal hurricanes. The blurred shadows they left behind condensed such immense spiritual waves that they were almost surrounding Boss Bai like an army of hundreds of spiritual puppets.

“This is more like it.”

Boss Bai closed his fingers and unleashed thousands of electric arcs, cutting the gap of the army of puppets randomly. Weirdly, although he did not aim at the Fist King’s bodies and only slashed at the air between the spiritual puppets, countless puppets were squeaking and slowing down.

“Ha, this is your weakness.”

Boss Bai smiled. “I don’t know what life form you are exactly, but beings like you seem to attach more importance to the transmission of information than to the cold shells.

“Attacking one of the shells in your gigantic army is meaningless, but as long as your network is disrupted and the information transmission among your different ‘units’ is cut off, your vigor and combat ability will be greatly reduced, and you may even be... destroyed!”

The moment he said “destroyed”, four powerful waves that were invisible to the naked eye suddenly spread out in the forsaken port. One piece of giant magical equipment was activated in every corner of the port. It was a huge magnet powered by crystals, which was supposed to attract and ship massive metal containers but had turned into traps that looked like swamps for metals after Boss Bai’s modification!

The twenty-nine spiritual puppets that made up the Fist King’s body were more than 90% metal. Although they had all been demagnetized, the special magnets for port were still too powerful and had too high an attraction force, and the Fist King was greatly affected.

For a moment, a lot of spiritual puppets were cramping as if drunk because of the interferences of the magnetic fields. The other spiritual puppets were still acting normally, but at the same time, they were also slowing down. Boss Bai took the opportunity to attack and destroy more than ten spiritual puppets in a row.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Fist King finally determined the coordinates of the four giant magnetic units. The four crystal cannons opened fire nonstop, wrecking all of them in one second.

But the moment the magnetic fields disappeared, Boss Bai retrieved a set of new magical equipment and armor from his Cosmos Ring. It was not a crystal suit controlled by a crystal processor, but the ancient magical equipment and armor from the Ancient Sages Sector that were crude and solely controlled by the human brain.

“Fist King, do you know why I insist on fighting you?”

After putting on the ancient armor, and when dozens of vintage flying swords hovered around him, Boss Bao looked like a reincarnation of an ancient god of war. He stabbed the spiritual puppets on his opposite side, leaving thousands of holes on them like a storm. “I’ve been in the Imperium for a long time, and yet what I encountered at the peripheral worlds were all guys like ‘Zuo Tianying’ or ‘Li Wuji’. Damn it. They were utterly unqualified to be my opponents!

“It’s been a long time since I last found an opponent that is worth fighting with all my strength. I am very ‘hungry’. Insanely hungry! Do you know the feeling? Have you ever tasted the feeling? If you do, stop reserving anything and feed the real you to my mouth!”

While roaring, Boss Bai chopped all the other spiritual puppets into parts as if they were harmless vegetables with the ancient sabers and swords unstoppably.

Since he went on a rampage, the Fist King had been quiet. He did not say anything even when the last spiritual puppet was twisted and torn into pieces by Boss Bai, almost like...

He had vanished.

However, while Boss Bai ravaged the spiritual puppets that could not fight back at all, a hundred invisible ripples spread out in the sky.

When the last spiritual puppet on the ground collapsed, the ripples in the sky lost their camouflage and turned out to be a hundred heavy battle puppets that looked even more advanced and aggressive. Scorching crystal cannons were on their shoulders, and their two hundred iron hands that were straightly aimed at Boss Bai had dazzling balls of light that were being condensed.

“Your brain has been overloaded.”

The Fist King’s cold voice came out from the broadcast rune arrays of the hundred heavy battle puppets at the same time. “You probably need a reboot.”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The hundred battle puppets unleashed a firepower that was almost equal to a heavy arsenal warship. Hundreds of tiny pillars of light congregated into a waterfall of destruction and fell from the sky, drowning, swallowing, and pressing Boss Bai on the ground. The pillars of light dug into the ground for more than ten meters, almost pushing Boss Bai all the way through the entire port.

What was even more incredible was the Fist King’s delicate control over the dispersion of spiritual energy. The shocking destruction inside the forsaken port could barely be felt hundreds of meters away from the place. Even if part of the sound and visual effects spread out, it would only be like a regular “practice” between two experts.

The glowing pillars of light lasted a whole minute.

The ground in the spaceport was melted with a giant hole that was about five meters in diameter and immeasurably deep, a result when the Fist King tried to control his damage. The edge and the inside of the hole were both scorching dark red, and the melted iron was dripping like mud.

Boss Bai’s spiritual waves and life information couldn’t be detected anymore.

The Fist King, however, daren’t be easy. He still powered all the heavy battle puppets to lock onto the hole on the ground tightly once they descended inch by inch.

Very soon, chuckles echoed below the hole. A colorful, ragged silky shirt, stuck to a cable tube, was raised out of the hole and waved as a white flag.

“I surrender. So incredible and awesome! I surrender!”

Boss Bai laughed crazily inside the cave. “I’ve finally warmed up my old bones and enjoyed myself today. Let’s stop fighting. If we fight on, our subordinates will notice what is going on here, and it will truly be ‘lose-lose’!”

The Fist King was stunned. The hundred spiritual puppets hummed at the same time, “Boss Bai, what are you up to exactly?

“You are concealing your traces so neatly that even I can barely lock onto you.

“In the high-temperature attack just now, you were even capable enough of protecting your clothes from being burnt into ashes. Your clothes are made of the most regular silk that is easiest to burn, aren’t they? But they were not burnt up, which suggested that you did not suffer any fatal injury at all.

“You started the battle, and you are the one surrendering right now. What do you want exactly?”

“Don’t be angry, and don’t be rash. Speaking of which, beings like you should be incapable of being angry or rash, and you can keep absolute rationality all the time, right?”

Like a blackened mouse, Boss Bai crawled out of the hole that had a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees. He lay on the ground and stretched out all his limbs. Watching the slowly descending heavy puppets in the sky, he spurted out a mouthful of smoke and grinned. “Like I said just now, it’s been a long time since I last found an opponent who was worth fighting with all my strength. People like ‘Zuo Tianying’ or ‘Li Wuji’ are not nearly gratifying. I was almost crazy after holding myself back for such a long time, and I thought that you were the only person that I could practice with!

“Besides, I think you are a good man. Really. Fist King, you are truly a good man. I’m sincerely hoping to get along with you, not just to be friends but also to be bros. Since we are to be bros, we naturally need to know each other better. For people like you and me, is there a better way to increase our knowledge of each other than a gratifying battle?”

Controlling the hundred spiritual puppets to thud on the ground heavily, the Fist King said coldly, “So, you did not want to kill me but only meant to practice with me?”

“I’m a space pirate. A space pirate never does anything that promises no returns. Like you said, it would be ‘lose-lose’ if we fought a life-and-death battle. Why would I kill you?”

Lying on the ground comfortably, Boss Bai looked at the guy with a smile. “Besides, am I capable of killing you? Are those hundred heavy battle puppets your real body? Can I kill you by destroying them?

“Or maybe, is your real self hiding inside a certain starship in the fleet of the Cultivators, not necessarily the flagship but perhaps an unattractive rapid warship? If I truly reveal the maliciousness that you cannot resist, you can turn into a starship in the blink of an eye and broke out of the siege, running away immediately. Am I right?”

The Fist King pondered for a moment, and the heavy puppets bowed at Boss Bai at the same time. He then controlled one of the puppets to support Boss Bai to get back on his feet.

There was a hint of admiration in the Fist King’s cold voice. “I thought that someone like Li Yao already deserved to be called a monster. I didn’t know until today that Boss Bai is the real monster. When Li Yao is compared to you—well, although he saved my life before, I can’t lie—it’s like the difference between an earthworm and a boa.”
